You save money, but be careful!
AppSumo can really help you save money, especially if you work with technology, AI, or online tools. I’ve found some great software deals that would be impossible to afford through regular monthly subscriptions.
However, there’s one thing that really frustrates me: when you request a refund using the $20 annual credit, that money is simply lost. It does not return to your credit card, and it does not even return as platform credit. In my opinion, this policy feels unfair and disappointing.
Is it worth it? Yes, if you research carefully before buying and avoid impulsive purchases. The deals can be excellent, but you should fully understand the refund policy before using your annual credit.

May 27, 2026Hi brackmann, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! Really glad to hear you’ve found some deals that have been genuinely useful, that’s exactly what we hope Plus delivers :)
On your point about refunds and credits: this is actually something we’ve recently improved based on member feedback 🎉 Plus coupons are now refundable! If you refund a purchase that used a Plus coupon, it’s automatically returned to your Rewards balance so you can use it again instead of losing it. We’ve also structured the $25 coupons quarterly so Plus members have time across the year to find tools that truly fit their workflow.
Appreciate you calling out both the benefits and frustrations here, feedback like this is exactly what helps us keep improving Plus!
